I'm with old phart.

 

As I'm a little confused as to where the thread went. I'll stick to the questions.

The little metal bracket thingy could be used for the wires. Maybe its used for the optional kickstart, to hold the kicker in the up position when not in use.

As for the rubber wheel. Chain stopper. It prevents the drive chain from coming up to much and cutting into something else. Just like the guides on the bottom for the swing arm. The difference is the wheel turns so it doesn't get chewed up, unlike the guides that get grooves worn in them.

 

Sorry Oldphart, but I'm gonna give you a three day vacation. Don't post when your drunk.

 

Good job. Nice to see this idiot has been banned.

 

I like Green242's approach betteer!...lmao...but now I must go check to make sure my info is set to "private"...lol

 

The rubber chummy: well once i took the wife 4 a ride. 350 pounds is a bit much 4 this bike! on bumps i would hear this rumbly sound. It was this roller hitting the chain. Dont know what would have happened if it wasnt there. The metal loop: maybe its a hanger for when they paint the frame at the factory. Just a guess!

 

Oohhhhhh....so THATS what the rubber thing is for....basically when you near bottom out right?

 

Since this is my first post on this board, I decided to wait for a substantial thread... one that was focused on the very important topic at hand, where learned people have shared their serious concerns...

As my dad is prone to say, "it's there to make little boys ask questions!"
